Drift Trikes are FUN, Lets make one!

 After a lot of emails asking about what would make a great 'first project' and projects for school/collage exams, I have decided to settle for the drift trike. It is a project that blends a lot of skills but at very basic levels.
I'm not going to write a 'how to' guide as the build video above shows and tells you everything. If this is your first project though you can rest your mind knowing that there is no gear linkage, cables to extend, wiring looms to alter, chain tensioners, hydraulic brakes, and complex exhausts to deal with as most of it is how it comes out the box.
I've put a few pictures below that are also links to find the bits online.
Here's the video of me running the Drift Trike.

You need a 3s limo battery, if you get around a 50c rated or above you'll be easy covered but less will still do, just search 3s limo on amazon and you'll have loads of options.
